Love Stories - A Box Set of 3 Romances
Three warmhearted, well-loved, spicy standalone romances in one set. Love family stories? Meet three unique and memorable kinds of family! Love in a Pawn Shop: A pit bull, a pawn shop and a pain-in-the-butt kid brother. . .

Dix is good with two out of three. She's had it with dusty shelves, desperate people and her teenage brother. With Riley about to graduate, Dix is ready to buy her one-way ticket to Paris.

Then sexy cop Dane Caldwell walks into her store on the hunt for stolen goods, and threatens her brother and her business.

The worst threat is to Dix's heart...if she loses that, she loses her dream.

Dane soon realizes he's found love in a pawn shop. Even the pit bull thinks he's okay. Now all he has to do is convince Dix that love is more than just another complication.

Sweet Ride: Katie Calhoun can multi-task like a pro. She can run a business, manage her life, and nurse her mentor back to health all at the same time. But as far as family goes...well, that's outside her comfort zone. Her years in the foster system taught her it was best to bail when things got emotional. So when her mentor's sexy nephew shows up, making her feel all the messy emotions she's always tried so hard to avoid, Katie is thrown for a loop. This can't possibly end happily...can it?

Hotshot banker Jace Donner doesn't want emotional entanglements, either. He just landed his dream job in Switzerland, but wouldn't feel right about leaving the country without first helping his stubborn uncle get back on his feet. And he's especially not leaving without learning everything there is to know about the feisty Katie, who may or may not be a gold digger out to make off with the family silver.

It's not long before Jace realizes there's more to Katie than meets the eye--and everything he learns about her only makes him want to know more. Now all he has to do is convince Katie to let down her defenses and give him a chance to prove that happy endings can actually happen...

Perdition House Part 1 - Tales of Perdition #1
Welcome to Perdition House: a house of sin, secrets and seduction where the spirits of dead hookers mess with the living...

Ghost stories are not always frightening. Sometimes they're cheeky, naughty and often erotic...

When Faye Grantham inherits Perdition House, her family's secret shame, she expects to sell the property for millions and marry her long time fiancé.

But the spirits who still reside in the mansion have other ideas. Trapped in the bordello, the women who lived and worked there wait to tell their stories to Faye.

The "girls" don't just hang around waiting. They control Faye's libido, influence her decisions and drive her into the arms of two very different men.

Liam Watson wears comfort like most men wear cologne. With an interest in adventurous sex, he's more man than he first seems.

Mark McLeod is a strong, decisive businessman who was not meant to be more than a hot one-night stand. But Mark is in no hurry to end their liaison and hopes to continue Faye's lessons in sensuality.

As Faye becomes enthralled with the mansion, she's embroiled in a life-changing situation that has her re-examining her engagement, her business decisions, and her beliefs about herself.

As the spirits reveal themselves one by one, Faye learns their stories: how they came to Perdition House, why they joined the women there and some of the secrets that only a high-class bordello could hold.

But can decades-old secrets affect Faye's life today?
